My German Lecture Class..



















What a nice class foto!! Even Frau Niemann said it's 'ein tolles Foto'! hehe.. :D

Everyone's listening while I'm playing around with the camera.. :P

Our future wishes pasted on the wall.. but from time to time, they dropped to the ground.. :X

Me and Frau Niemann!

My group members for the day.. poor Joan, get well soon!

During German Tutorial..


(Damien, Gladys, Geok and ? in the background.. Lydia, ? and Irene in the foreground)

We're supposed to discuss our questions for a quiz game and I'm hopping around taking pictures. heh! Ask them to turn and face me, they just laugh.. haha.. They're nice people!!

"Come on la.. eat la.. my dear son.."

(We're doing another skit.. it's so fun to role-play in german!)

Stubborn prince still don't want to eat..despite all the good food and persuasion..

Some preparation for the Big Day..


Marrying my brother off.. soon..

(Hehe.. i can ensure entertaining photos because my brother has loaned his camera to me and I won't be returning him that soon.. *witch laugh*)

Oranges with '喜' stickers pasted on them by mum, for this process called 过大礼.. whereby all the 娉礼 (?)will be sent to the bride-to-be.

These sweets smell so sweet! I wanna eat them too!!

CAKES!!! I WANNA EAT~!!!!!!!

Look look! My mum has made these two DAMN DAMN traditional costume for me and herself. We're going to wear them on the wedding dinner. Nice hor...






NO LA!!! I WILL NEVER WEAR SUCH KUKU MALU STUFF ON MY BROTHER'S WEDDING!!!

Don't the two thingies above look like two big AngBaos?? You must be wondering why did my family possess such stuff. Well, they were indeed made by my mum for some Malay client she had.. FOR HARI RAYA. I think I would laugh like hell if I were to see someone wearing that. Even though the costume itself is very beautiful, it's not really a norm wearing that on the streets now and obviously, you would look like a walking AngBao. So red. So kuku.

And well, the Malay client has not collected these two costumes yet. If you happen to see this post, Malay client, please come and collect them and wear them for your next Hari Raya. My mum spent effort in making every piece of clothing.. So, pay her and go be an Angbao.

Had a Girly Talk..

with my Major mates. It was pretty like a group session.. though we didn't really follow exact group procedures.. Just want to say, I had a good time talking and I hope we have this kind of chance again soon. :)

The 40% test was okay but I don't think I'll get fantastic grades and well, I shall mug for my darling german liao.. :P

Me: Tsk tsk tsk.. somebody's eating snake sia!!

Whatttt??? *scrambles over*

See! I'm working kkkk.... *rolls eyes*

王子变青蛙!


Haaaa... some form of entertainment for me.. foto arranging.. hehe.. :D

I heard that the VCDs are (what the) $80.. think I won't buy yet.

I thought I would fail my German test.. but HOHOHOHOHO.. I DIN FAIL!! And I got two marks higher than last test.. YEAHHHhhhh~ But now, I'm worried that my German Vocabulary Test will pull down my grades a little because I know for sure I won't be able to study everything by thursday due to my beloved major's test which is taking up a damn 40% of CA.

Have been trying very hard to balance between German and Social Work and getting ready for my brother's Big Day. It's really not a good day chosen because my second brother will have his examinations half-way through, and me? two days away. Sucky date I must say. My skin will be protesting and won't be looking good. :(

But I don't really care liao la. As long as I don't look ugly on MY wedding day.

Dear "People who said they wanna go Germany with me"...

After looking at a few blogs, I chanced upon the website of the Europa-Park.. which Joan has highly recommended me to go and check it out. I looked through the resort thingy and saw pictures of tents.. which makes me wonder if they set up tents for us to sleep.. hahaha.. sounds exciting eh?

We can first go to Freiburg.. then go to some other cities and of course, to Muenster, Elisa-Ruediger Weg.. I believe it's going to be a fun trip to look forward to.. Anyway, practical thinking allows me to understand that it is highly impossible for all of my German friends to go with me.. But it's good to go as a small group, right?

My only worry is that I want to bring my mum to Germany but of course not together with my friends.. So I've to go Germany twice? Errr... dun sound bad right? :D

我想,这括许就是真爱吧。。。

“我讨厌你影响我的心跳,

进入我的视线里、妨碍我的思想。”

...



曾经一个人影响我的心跳。。 但他却不知情。。

他。。进入我的视线里,超级妨碍到了我的思想。。

我试着让他知道我对他的情。。但他却没做出任何反应。。

我只好放弃。

I'm so bored!! :P To the extent of drawing spiders.. hehe..

Cindy vomits..

Originally I wanted Joan to bring a camera to take class picture but I suddenly don't have the courage to say that I want to take a class photo. Afterall, we are not a very bonded class. I wanted very much to take a foto because 1) I like my lecturer, 2) I want to take pictures with interesting ppl whom I've never met till now.. But I don't know how they'll interpret my on-ness of taking pictures.

For my second German class, I have already lost in touch with my classmates and it's only my first German class (when no fotos were taken), that I still kept in touch with my classmates.. which is a very amazing thing..

From nothing to say to scolding Alvin for his crappiness, encouraging Victor along the corridor, and crapping with Elayne with all sorts of stuff.. Friendship just grew.. though not as much as in the past as we each has our own life to lead.. They are working now (except muscleman).. And i really wish them all the best.. It's them who made me feel that I'm not so anti-social in NUS afterall. To cheat myself that I'm anti-social is perhaps an act of self-protection.. I just want to convince myself that it's okay not to find any friends that I clique with. It's okay. Afterall, life's not just about friends.

But life can be very different with friends around. I dont tell everything to everyone but my friends who understand me enough knows that I didnt say everything and always notice that I have something wrong with me. It's also amazing how friends can affect how we think. Grace just simply gave me a call, I cried, and after that, I changed my way of thinking and cheered up, gained courage and stood up again. I'm leading a different life now and am more than ever, ready for challenges ahead..

Right now, my rate of anti-social-ness should be around 6 marks bah.. I talk to people I know.. but I don't make an extra effort to know someone new. Just acquaintances.. I know if I put in extra effort, I'll end up feeling hurt.. so why invest so much effort? And even if I talk, it's basically for pragmatic purposes. It's so convenient can? Just one sms and you'll know the lecture venue, or the content of next tutorial.

My dear Primary School time best friend, Agnes, reflected to me that University friendship is based in pragmatic reasons. I cant help but agree.

Urgh.. So my stand is... Okay.. I don't sound as if I got a stand but I just wanna pui everything out.


*OooooOGGgggggg*


Okay. Vomit finish le.

What? I cannot be nonsensical is it?!

It just irks me when some people can get so irritating.

Some people have a BIG and complete family, yet ugly personalities.

Some people have tertiary education, yet they ask stupid questions when they can simply find the answers they want in IVLE. Please check the website. It's not there for nothing.





May your ass catch fire one fine day.

...

I don't know if I can fit in but I'm trying to la.. Sometimes I just hope that friendship will grow for no reason. No need for rapport-building or good listening skills or appropriate body language or whatsoever. Looks like my 2105 information has took over my brain. Anyway, enjoyed eating lunch with some of my coursemates and well, we digressed from topics to topics.. Facial... ideal partner... our essays...

...

Hmm... Multiattribute Utility Analsis..

Nominal Group Technique..

Social Judgment Analysis..

Quality Circles...

I don't know what the hell they are about.. Only know abit, and that's as good as knowing nothing can?!

Cheem Social Work terms have been boggling me for the whole day.. baaahhhhhh... save me!!!

...

Sometimes I think I have the wrong mindset.. But it's so tough to change myself.

Ok I'm mumbling nonsensical stuff again..

BOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO......

Ich bin wirklich nicht gut..

German Semester test was so hard... When i saw the whole passage of German, I felt so sleepy and spaced out that I don't really want to read it properly.. A sudden sian-ness in me.. and I couldn't control how I felt.. It was horrible. Urgh.

Then there's this section about describing what the lecturer is wearing.. I took a look at Frau Niemann...(to the extent of staring)

She's wearing white pants and white tee with a red shirt that has green leaves all over.. My German is SO GOOD such that I ignored the green leaves and just stated that she is wearing a red shirt with white pants.. I'm so smart.

The problem is I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS 'LEAVES' in german!

For the whole day I was feeling rather horrible and urgh.. a very terrible feeling. I better speak more german for the last two German lessons to earn more participation marks....

I shall go online less frequently since exams are coming.. Shall mug till I die.

Wasserbett- Water bed..

Reminiscing..

Phew! It took me loads of time to choose and paste and size each of them into suitable sizes.. :D

I suddenly have the urge of pasting some jing cai fotos from my Language Immersion together.. Of course I cant fit the hundreds of fotos into this size.. but i try?? heee... All I can say is that I miss my Immersion friends and I miss the Sagemanns and I'm gonna be missing German soon..

Fotos von "Kaffee und Kuchen mit Julia"..


Julia's Hot Chocolate..

(I don't know why I don't like hot chocolate when I like chocolate..)

Schokoladekuchen

Käsekuchen..

I'm happy NOT because of Julia's presence... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... :X

New blog name! :D

Urgh. Sian. Today is a DAMN SIAN DAY. Usually Fridays are my study days.. and because of my makeup tutorial, I can't study in library for the whole day.. Did my lab and saw some interesting specimen.. which reminds me that I haven't done my assignment. :X

Still thinking of the smile... *sheepish smile*

Even HW's smile was not so mesmerising to me 7 years back.

My third German Oral..

Not bad la... at least better than last Semester.. I keep reminding myself not to be gan jiong.. phew! I did it! :D

Read my partner's blog about our oral and practise sessions. :)

The joint dialogue is about Reise.. Although we sort of misread the question, we had fun speaking about the topic.. For individual work, I got the "What are you supposed to or wanted to do when you were 16 years old?" question.. a topic which we went through before in tutorial.. My sentences were practically uttered out ONE-BY-ONE. But the overall performance should be not bad bah.. at least my German improved.. compared to last Semester.. Can't wait to go Germany again to show off my German.. geeee... Ok la.. I'm not German Goddess la.. mayb German Genie? :P

Oh, last week something funny happened. Sharon told me that Ningjia said that there is someone chasing me... My answer was "How come got people chase me I dunno one??" Well, my dear Ningjia, just because my msn nick sounds love-sick doesnt mean that I'm in love.. duh. It's a line from my favourite drama. Anyway, I'm not one who likes to keep relationships secretive bah.. it's meant to be good news to be spread around.. gee.. sounds so aunty but who cares? After 10 years, we'll all be aunties.


(sorry for imperfect english as it is sort of adapted from msn)

Kaffee und Kuchen mit Julia in Secret Recipe.. Wir aßen einen Schokoladekuchen und einen Käsekuchen.. Sie sind so-la-la.. aber es ist gut, dass wir treffen könnten.

It's amazing how I can fall in love with things so easily.. I love German so much!! Someone smack me!

Oh.. something funny to share!! MUST READ!!

There's some interesting stuff to be known about the German language..


Eat--> (Past Tense) Ate--> (auf Deutsch, in German) Aß--> Ass

Fat--> (auf Deutsch, in German) Dick

(i know very lame.. just laugh!)
.

On a different note, has anyone met someone whose smile made you think of him/her for the whole day.. and even the days after??

Bah... Poor Sharon... haiz.........

What?! Another paragraph?!

Finally got to saw a carnivorous plant eating up an insect..

The cute General Biology Lecturer... (isn't he cute??)

showed us some sticky insect.. (Don't ask me why it's sticky. Ask the insect yourself.) And he shoved the insect onto the stem.. The insect seemed unwilling to go into the centre of the "mouth" of the plant (OF COURSE!!).. And thus, he pushed it with some stick all the way in and *pop* the plant closes its mouth and byebye insect!!

yyyyeeeeeeewwwwwww...

The lecturer explained that as long as the sensory hair on the plant's "mouth" is being moved twice, it'll close its "mouth".. thus, enabling it to eat insects.. interesting.. but sorry, no interest in advancing into Biology.

Need something to perk you up?

These violent cartoons might be able to perk you up a little..

A pity I don't have a lot of guy friends.. but I really have this dying question. Guys do get sick of girls after a long span of time, do they? Someone said this to me and it sort of send chills down my spine. I mean, imagine you're deeply in love with a guy and after a few months, he'll say that he's sick of you and wants to break up with you. What would I do?

Option 1: Use a scissors to cut his essential part.

Option 2: Slap him real hard.

Option 3: Cry until you look like a red panda. (Because you'll lose sleep and you'll gain swollen eyes after crying non-stop for donkey hours or even days)

Most girls will choose option 3, I guess.

I hope all the couples I know will have those lived-happily-ever-after ending.

I finished my essay last night or rather, this morning. No energy to read readings and lethargic in lessons.. phew.

Everything's ending pretty soon.

My favourite German lessons,
all those eye-candy-ing time in campus,
rushing to AS 7 to print my german worksheets,
acting cool while I walk along the corridors of FASS,
bringing coffee or my favourite teh-ni to lecture halls,
all the worries about who to eat with for my next lunch,
hiding in No. 5 carrel to study (and of course exciting experiences of smuggling food and drinks into the carrel),
and standing infront of the photocopying machine for more than one hour to photocopy readings (my maximum so far is two hours),


They are going to be gone in three weeks time.

Saturday is my FREE DAY!!

Your Ideal Relationship is Serious Dating

You're not ready to go walking down the aisle.
But you may be ready in a couple of years.
You prefer to date one on one, with a commitment.
And while chemistry is important, so is compatibility.



Yes. I hate people who are not serious about dating. I know dating is considered as a "NOT CONFIRMED" relationship. But i treat every relationship I have and every guy I liked before seriously so I really don't appreciate the fact that people just 'date for fun'. I was surfing for stuff of my favourite drama and found out they actually have a typical special edition after the end of the show, showing that茼萵 actually recorded everything he did the moment he knew 天瑜.. Anyway, I'm always looking forward to every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.. :D

(Self reminder that now, the always changing Channel U has changed the dramas to 7pm liao)

Oh, there's arts exhibition in West Mall!! Like those I saw in Singapore Convention Hall (forgot the name.. did i get it right?) when I was J1.. Why was I in SCH? Because I won SYF arts award mah.. *smug* I yearned to take pictures of them leh.. but got no camera.. haiz.. hope I can get it by this week..

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!


Your Personality Profile

You are pure, moral, and adaptable.
You tend to blend into your surroundings.
Shy on the outside, you're outspoken to your friends.

You believe that you live a virtuous life...
And you tend to judge others with a harsh eye.
As a result, people tend to crave your approval.


Your Power Color Is Red-Orange

At Your Highest:

You are warm, sensitive, and focused on your personal growth.

At Your Lowest:

You become defensive and critical if you feel attacked.

In Love:

You are loyal - but you demand the respect you deserve.

How You're Attractive:

You are very affectionate and inspire trust.

Your Eternal Question:

"Am I Respected?"


I shall type 80% of my essay by tomorrow~!!! (i.e. today)

From Julia's Tagboard..

Cindy: When the man that you love comes along.. even if he's not big and strong, you'll think that he's big and strong.


TedFox: And even if wait long long. He'll be worth waiting for!



It rhymes! :)

SEE THE WURSTS AT THE BACK??? drools..... oh, that's not the point. Historical moment. My brother added me on MSN and we had our first chat. duh... Usually siblings don't add each other cos they see each other everyday... hahaa..

Guess What??

Yep.. sharing pictures again. Gosh.. it's a lot.

My (luckily normal-tasting) Rose Tee.

They added Lavender essence in Sharon's tea!!

Ellen's diluted Ribena.

Julia just wanna say she loves her Teh-Ni.

How can a birthday girl not have any card?? And who draw that 'Cindy' one? Draw until so ugly. What grade did you get for Arts??

My Beloved. Vanilla Obsession! :D

Tiramisu..two holes were dug by me and ellen..

Excuse me for my kuku-ness but this thingy tasted like Kaya.

This is the half-eaten Apple-crumble.. I am sorry I left you out just now..

Dunno who so pervert ah.. Took a picture of my chest and didn't even ask for my permission.
